Common questions
Which service handles communication between the Cockpit browser app and system tools?
cockpit-ws is the web service component used for communication between the browser application and configuration tools and services such as cockpit-bridge.
Why might Cockpit's WS / Bridge process crash during login instead of showing a login failure?
The reported cause is a bug in how sudo is used to evaluate login permission. In that case, Webmin may fail the login while Cockpit's WS / Bridge process crashes.
Where should general Cockpit bugs and feature requests be reported?
Use Cockpit's issue tracker for general bugs and feature requests. Other parts of Cockpit may have specific issue trackers.
Does Cockpit use the server's existing user accounts?
By default, Cockpit uses the system's normal user logins and privileges. It also supports network-wide logins through single sign-on and other authentication techniques.
Can existing command-line workflows be used alongside Cockpit?
Yes, Cockpit uses existing system tooling and APIs, so command line, Ansible, and other favorite tools can be used alongside it. It also includes a built-in terminal.
